alt Hacker NewsWhoa, Antrophic,etc are really running afraid that their IPO's are gonna crash when people realize that the open models are Good Enough(TM).
So I'd put it at 30% that this is a ruse, say that Qwen 3.5,etc is tainted by training by them and start issuing DMCA takedowns to protect the IPO valuation (Or they'll hold off on that, getting a DMCA takedown could backfire spectacularly if others do that to them).
The open source models are more than good enough… c suite doesn’t care if the open source models means you’re slower in shipping by hrs/days if the cost savings make up for it.
This idea of shipping at max speed was stoopid as shit anyway. Going slow is arguably more important than fast fast fast.
